DSPACE INTRODUCES 64-BIT LINUX-BASED RTOS FOR SCALEXIO SYSTEMS
With dSPACE Release 2022-A, a 64-bit Linux-based RTOS has been introduced as the default RTOS of the SCALEXIO processing hardware, while the 32-bit Linux-based RTOS was available as legacy support.
As part of its continuous improvement strategy, dSPACE introduced a 32-bit Linux-based real-time operating system (RTOS) for SCALEXIO Processing Units and DS6001 Processor Board with the dSPACE Release 2020-B.
The migration to the 64-bit Linux-based RTOS provides you with
- Improved real-time execution and computational performance, which is especially relevant for autonomous driving and e-mobility applications
- Faster deployment of new dSPACE features
- Improved support of memory-intensive applications, e.g., high bandwidth network communication
- More straightforward third-party software support
Migrating to the 64-bit Linux-Based RTOS
When migrating to dSPACE Release 2022-A or later, the following items built for earlier dSPACE Releases are no longer compatible with the SCALEXIO system and must be (re-)built from source code:
When migrating to dSPACE Release 2022-A or later, the following items built for earlier dSPACE Releases are no longer compatible with the SCALEXIO system and must be (re-)built from source code:
- Real-time applications (.rta)
- SIC and BSC files
- Binary libraries contained in model containers (e.g., SIC, BSC, FMU files)
- Binary libraries referenced by Simulink models (e.g., by S-functions)
- Binary libraries referenced by ConfigurationDesk applications via custom code settings or custom I/O functions
Source code is expected to be reusable in most cases. Cases that might require an adaptation of C code are related to custom code that expects specific word lengths for unqualified integer types (e.g., long) or pointers.
Discontinuation of the support for 32-bit Linux-Based RTOS for SCALEXIO Systems
Since the 64-bit Linux-based real-time operating system (RTOS) will be the future RTOS for all SCALEXIO Processing Hardware, the legacy support of the 32-bit version will be discontinued after dSPACE Release 2023-A. From dSPACE Release 2023-B onwards, only the 64-bit RTOS will be provided.
